Mycobacterium rufum JS14(T) (=ATCC BAA-1377(T), CIP 109273(T), JCM 16372(T), DSM 45406(T)), a type strain of the species Mycobacterium rufum sp. . belonging to the family Mycobacteriaceae, was isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil in Hilo (HI, USA) because it harbors the capability of degrading PAH. Here, we describe the first genome sequence of strain JS14(T), with brief phenotypic characteristics. The genome is composed of 6,176,413 bp with 69.25 % G + C content and contains 5810 protein-coding genes with 54 RNA genes. The genome information on M. rufum JS14(T) will provide a better understanding of the complexity of bacterial catabolic pathways for degradation of specific chemicals.
红分枝杆菌JS14(T)（=ATCC BAA-1377(T)，CIP 109273(T)，JCM 16372(T)，DSM 45406(T)），是分枝杆菌科红分枝杆菌属的模式菌株，从美国夏威夷希洛受多环芳烃（PAH）污染的土壤中分离得到，因为它具有降解PAH的能力。在此，我们描述了菌株JS14(T)的首个基因组序列，并简要介绍其表型特征。该基因组由6,176,413 bp组成，G+C含量为69.25%，包含5810个蛋白质编码基因和54个RNA基因。红分枝杆菌JS14(T)的基因组信息将有助于更好地理解细菌降解特定化学物质的分解代谢途径的复杂性。
